The results of a comparison of North Atlantic ocean surface temperature measurements made from the Soviet research ship Akademik Kurchatov and from the American NOAA-2 environmental research satellite are presented. Ship measurements were made with the aid of thermistor, satellite measurements with the aid of radiometers (at both visible and thermal wavelengths). Ship data are organized in the form of tables and histograms, satellite data in the form of grid-type temperature maps and infrared photographs of the region of interest. Difficulties in comparing the data from both ship and satellite sources were partially resolved through the use of statistical comparison methods. Results indicate a high correlation between ship and satellite data, and that the combined utilization of research ships and satellites will increase the effectiveness of ocean-surface temperature studies.
